Looking out on a course with six holes still buried in snow, David D'Andrea, operations manager of the Griff, could only shrug and offer his best guess.

"So long as we don't get any more snow, first week of April is my bet," he said to the callers. "We're just waiting on Mother Nature to warm up so the grass can start popping."

On the heels of a winter so cold and snowy it won't soon be forgotten, it's unclear when the Griffith E. Harris Golf Course will reopen for the season. At last, spring has arrived, but the grounds of Greenwich's lone public golf course remain frozen solid.
